The Cuomos Got Worse | Guests: Janice Dean & Jedediah Bila | 12/13/21

For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.

That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.

We may need to change that jingle.

Prices and participation may vary.

Rough greens.

When you are a dog owner, you want to do everything you can for them.

We're calling Uno today.

And he was outside, and I was like, Uno, come on, Uno.

And I said, he is being so disobedient.

I don't know what's gotten into him.

And Tanya walked outside and whistled, and he didn't turn around for that.

And we think he's going deaf.

And I'm

so bummed.

Oh, you're kidding.

We want to keep our dog healthy and with us as long as possible.

Rough Greens.

Rough Greens has changed him.

He acts like a puppy.

Maybe he's just ignoring us, but his

activity level is shot through the roof with Rough Greens.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Our faith in God and our faith in people is being renewed today in places like Kentucky.

We'll talk about the rescue efforts and also

our visit with President Donald Trump over the weekend coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenbeck Program.

Time is running out.

Christmas is in two weeks.

And if you haven't ordered the Tuttle Twins books for your kids or grandkids yet, may I suggest you do it today while you still can get it in time.

Nothing more important in the world than your children and their freedom and they are going to be the ones that are going to decide whether or not we're free.

They have to know the principles of freedom and you can teach it to them with the Tuttle Twins using stories and pictures.

They have a free market curriculum with lessons that explore how free markets work so your kids can understand supply and demand, and inflation, and how government intervention affects the economy.

Giving these books in curriculum is great for your kids and your grandkids.

These are the things that we used to teach in school, and now we can teach them again with the Tuttle Twins at tuttletwinsbeck.com.

Get the books and curriculum for all kids and teenagers in your life.

There is a holiday discount of 40%.

Get the workbooks free, but you have to order today.

We are still praying for miracles in the devastation of the tornado that hit this weekend.

It is

something that we literally have never seen in America.

This is the longest stretch of a tornado, what would you call it, swath

in the history of the United States.

It was an EF3 tornado

and it cleaned a large swath of about, what is it, about 100 miles, isn't it?

No, it was over 200 miles.

200 miles.

I mean, what on earth?

Because you think about, we have these stories every once in a while, and you think about, okay, here are, there are a few tornadoes that hit different areas, like a series of them in one storm cell.

This was like one really long tornado that went across an entire multiple states.

And I mean, the devastation is never seen anything like it.

We know that the 80 are dead.

This is the last update I got.

If you have a different number, yeah, they think 80 is the official number.

They do think it's going to go over 400.

Yeah.

Many people are still missing.

It is, if you have never experienced a tornado, they are terrifying.

I remember my grandfather talking about, you know, living in Iowa, and the tornadoes would roll through.

And

he used to tell stories about how straw could be driven through telephone poles.

And it's one thing to hear it, and it's another thing to experience it.

I've, thank God, never experienced, you know, getting

close to a tornado.

You know, I've I've been within 10 miles and it was spooky enough 10 miles away.

But I've gone to several sites after.

And when they say a town is gone,

the town is gone.

I've seen tornadoes take houses and literally turn it into paper pulp.

and throw the house against the wall of another building that remains intact, but everything that was the house and in the house is now pulp, and it's like wallpaper all over.

It is

the force is absolutely incredible.

Makes you feel appropriately small.

It does.

And this is the type of thing that is so overwhelming when it comes, you know, it's the type of thing that they like to take advantage of when it comes to the climate change stuff.

You saw the FEMA director coming out and saying this over the weekend.

Oh, well, this is

what to look forward to in climate change.

And it's sad that they go to those things immediately.

You know, considering, especially, there's just basically no evidence at all that ties climate change to increased tornadoes or tornadoes becoming more destructive.

That's of all the areas that they have and have studied on climate, this is one that they really legitimately have nothing.

They're not even claiming to have anything.

You know, we had in between 2020 and 2000 and 2020, there were five EF5 tornadoes, five of them, in 20 years.

From 1954 to 1974, we had 36 of them.

Holy cow.

Yeah.

Now, if you look at the long-term trends on larger tornadoes over a century, what you see is a slight decrease in the number of them.

So

not an increase.

Not a complete drop-off.

Like when we talk about deaths from climate-related events, you have a complete drop-off in 100 years, a drop-off of over 98% of climate-related deaths.

So that one is like really compelling to say, hey, whatever we're doing right now is making things better in this area.

Tornadoes, you wouldn't argue that you're making it better with what we're doing.

You would say that, you know, people are surviving more often when they get hit.

Obviously, there's some innovations we've made there, but there are fewer of them slightly over 100 years, which would indicate climate change is not the thing driving these things, right?

I mean, if anything, there's a slight decrease, which gives you the opposite of what the media is going to be telling you all week long.

And

it's really unsettling because you look at what has happened to these areas.

I mean,

legitimately, as you mentioned, wiped off the map

horror story after horror story of real people suffering.

And it's going to be, you know, it's sad to watch the media go through their normal cycles on this.

And I know the media says that

thoughts and prayers do nothing,

but at least the people in these areas know that thoughts and prayers are deeply meaningful, and our thoughts and prayers are with all of the people that were in that 200-mile stretch.

Mercury One already has people on the scene.

If you would like to donate, you can just go to mercury1.org, mercury1.org, and help the people who have now absolutely nothing.

You know, in floods and everything, you can kind of take some things away, but in tornadoes, it's all gone.

It's just gone.

And

it's so indiscriminate.

You know, it'll take half a house and the other house, the other part of the house is completely fine.

It's just so bizarre, so bizarre and terrifying.

It is, I've been through hurricanes, earthquakes,

you know, storms of all kinds.

I have not had one close, but we've had the, we could see them on the horizon.

And

those things are so frightening because they can, unlike this one, they can just suck up back into the sky and stop and then

come back down someplace else.

And it is so indiscriminate.

MercuryOne.org.

MercuryOne.org.

All right.

I went to

be with the president at Mar-Lago on Friday, and I have a lot to say and some clips from the interview that we did.

I did an interview for the first of the year.

This one will air January 5th.

And it is going to be the first interview, looking forward

and not backward on the year.

So

what are we in store for?

And how do we fix it?

He was quite impressive, quite impressive, especially since, you know,

Joe Biden is just gone.

Joe Biden said this weekend is because he's working so many hours.

Aha.

But he's just gone.

The president was A, in a very good place.

He was sharp, sharp, sharp.

I said to him, do you remember the first time we met?

This was off the air.

You remember the first time we met?

And he said, I

said, it was, I said, Larry King.

And he said, Larry King's birthday.

I mean,

wow.

That was a long time ago.

That was 15, 16 years ago.

And I was a nobody.

And that's when Larry King turned 116.

It was 400.

His 400th birthday.

His 400th birthday.

It was his 400th birthday.

He came in.

He brought his own dirt like all vampires do.

And he was on the bottom of the Mayflower, I believe.

So it was interesting.

But anyway, and then had dinner.

He invited me to have dinner

with,

he said, you want to, what do you have planned on?

I'm like, McDonald's.

And he's like,

why don't you come?

Milani Milani and I are having dinner.

Why don't you come and have dinner with us upstairs?

And I'm like, okay.

Now, I felt a little bad because Bill O'Reilly had invited me to dinner that night.

And I felt bad that, you know, I saw him in my mind's eye all night sitting there at Applebee's waiting, you know, like, no.

You didn't even tell him.

Nah.

I mean, I will say.

Big your name, Bill.

Big name.

They do have Cheeto's wings, I think, currently at Applebee's.

So I could see

by himself, just like, no, really, somebody is joining me.

No.

Oh, that's the saddest visual I've ever had.

Yeah.

So then on Saturday, I went and introduced Bill O'Reilly for his big thing.

There were about 11,000 people there.

I don't know if he announced this from the stage,

but what I heard from the venue, because there was a massive screw-up, massive screw-up, and the thing started like an hour late.

And that was because the Secret Service had to wand everybody, but more importantly, somebody had hacked into the system and changed like half the tickets to fraudulent.

So everybody had to bring their tickets, get out of line and bring their tickets to the ticket window.

And I mean, I

got to tell you, I was so worried about that event because of the tickets.

And then when Bill comes on stage, for the first time, he comes out, he starts his monologue, he's about to introduce the president, and his mics go dead.

They hand him another mic, dead.

Everything was dead for like two minutes.

And I thought, holy cow, is this just a screw-up?

Or is this, what is this?

The first show, too, sometimes those things happen, but you know,

it was heightened awareness of this stuff.

Yeah, heightened awareness.

I've never seen security like this before, ever.

I mean, the security at Mar-Lago was was one thing but you know that's the president's house and

because it's a national historic site they can't put fences or gates up they have gate on the driveway but there's no fences around it they can't use all of the stuff that secret service usually use yeah and they're a secret service

everywhere everywhere.

And

at this show with Bill O'Reilly, and it's coming, I think, this week to Texas.

Allow yourself extra time to get there, but it's worth seeing.

We'll play some clips.

Bill sent me some clips.

He made some news this weekend.

And I have a few clips, too.

I asked him about

Dr.

Fauci.

Tell me a little bit about Dr.

Fauci.

And

it's quite interesting.

So that's all coming up on the program, coming up in just a few minutes.

First, let me tell you about Life Lock.

Ah, the holidays.

For most of us, it's a season of giving, but it's also a season of taking if you happen to be a cyber criminal.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for cyber criminals because

we are all online doing our Christmas shopping.

You need to be aware that if you're not protected, someone

may be out to grab all of your information, grab your numbers, and wipe you out.

A lot of things you can do to stay safe.

Things like using a VPN instead of a public Wi-Fi, creating a strong password, etc.

etc.

But you also need a dedicated source checking for you on everything.

That's LifeLock.

You know, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock does the best on overseeing all of it.

And what's best is if they miss something,

They have a team of specialists that are going to work with you to clean it all up.

So, Janice Deena is going to be joining us here in just a few minutes.

She's back in the news because it has come out that Chris Cuomo,

what a dirtbag.

He said he called her that, excuse the expression, fox weather bitch

and

blasted her as that and was looking to discredit her.

Is there anything we can find on that fox weather bitch?

I mean, this guy is.

To paint her as an extreme right-wing nutbag is an important part of that.

She's not.

No.

I will also say, I mean, it is alleged that these, we don't have the evidence on this yet.

I mean, we have the evidence that he's a dirtbag, but on the actual texts themselves,

we don't necessarily have all of the evidence on that yet.

But I will say I had a struggle with that this weekend in that it so lines up with my prior beliefs that I almost couldn't find myself to even say

that they're alleged.

It's so who this guy is and has been forever.

Forever.

That's the way they do business.

Yep.

You know, is there any way to take her and throw her under the bus and make her look like a crazy right-winger?

Yep.

That's what allegedly the text says.

There's another story that you're not going to find many places today that broke, I think, on Friday.

CNN producer who worked shoulder to shoulder with Chris Cuomo has now been indicted on charges of luring young girls to his Vermont ski house for sexual subservience training.

This guy, his name is John Griffin.

He was arrested and the FBI

has been doing a

been doing an investigation on him for a while.

He apparently was on

Kik and Google Hangouts, and he communicated with people purporting to be parents of minor daughters, conveying to them, among other ideas, that a woman is a woman regardless of her age, and that women should be sexually subservient and inferior to men.

That's not a good point.

Yeah.

It's not a good series of points.

In June 2020, Griffin advised a mother of a

nine- and 13-year-old daughters that the mother's responsibility was to see that her older daughter was trained properly.

He sent her $3,000 for plane tickets so the mother and her nine-year-old daughter could fly to Nevada to Boston's Logan airport.

The mother and child flew to Boston in July 2020, where he picked him up in his Tesla, drove to his house.

The daughter was directed to engage and did engage in unlawful sexual activity.

Does this maybe why they never talked about the CIA, why they're not talking about,

you know,

what's his name?

Jeffrey Epstein.

Definitely killed himself.

I mean,

this is only going to play into conspiracy centers again,

but these people are so bad.

It's just such a bad group of people.

And it would behoove these organizations to have somebody who is new at the top and clean house.

Just clean house.

It's a good point, Glenn.

I can't disagree with it.

I mean, look, we know we worked in that building at one point, and there are a lot of really good people who work there.

And I know that that sounds like a disclaimer, but it's not.

I mean, we really do work with a lot of really great people who are there, and people who did.

Some of them are liberal and still aren't doing journalism the way I want them to, but they're not this.

They're not Chris Cuomo.

There's a big separation there.

And

there are things

that you start to tolerate.

A real problem.

Once you start to tolerate things that aren't true,

it's easy to slide into the mud.

You know what I mean?

And they were tolerating, I mean, real journalist should have walked, should have walked, said, you don't fire him right now.

I walk.

And that should have happened a long time ago with Chris Cuomo.

All the journalistic standards went out the window.

And I really do not think it had anything to do with that, his firing.

I don't think his firing was related to him basically destroying all sense of journalism for this company that purports to be the apple for every fact.

This is an apple, if you remember that nonsensical campaign.

You know, for that organization.

You might say

an opinion organization wouldn't fire him immediately over some of the things he did.

You might say, okay, well, you know what?

We know he's biased in this way, and we're going to be out front with it and be okay.

No, but they claimed their news, right?

They should have done it minute one.

They waited way longer than any respectable opinion site would have waited.

And then when they did it, they only did it because they were embarrassed and were lied to by Chris Cuomo.

It wasn't even that they thought what he did was particularly all that bad, it seems.

It's just that it got to the point where it made executives look and feel bad.

And that is disgraceful.

I mean, it was

the what they did was with this Cuomo situation from from,

you know, January and February of 2020 until they finally got rid of the guy was an absolute, complete and utter disgrace.

There's no defending it.

There is absolutely no defending it.

From minute one, when they started popping him on the air with, remember, this is a guy, Andrew Cuomo, who got fired for harassing women.

They were on the air calling him the love gov on the air with his brother.

Listen to this.

You've got cuomo who is abusive to women you have toomey who was abusive to himself i guess tubin you're talking about uh tubin you have uh yeah yeah tubin you have uh don lenon lemon who is in court for sexual harassment and now you have this child predator who is the producer or one of the producers for cnn and chris cuomo i mean that's not a good record guys

this is the Glenn Back program.

Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins.

If you're still shopping for Christmas, your kids and your grandkids, now is the time to pull the trigger

on something that I think is an absolute must under your Christmas tree for your grandkids.

It's the Tuttle Twins books.

Tuttle Twins have toddler and children's books that explore the principles of freedom using stories and pictures.

They have a free market curriculum with lessons that explore how free markets work.

So your kids, by the time they're teenagers, are reading the Tuttle Twins and can understand supply, demand, inflation, how the government intervention affects our economy.

This is something that we must teach our kids because they are being taught the exact opposite.

And,

you know, I know it's not good night moon.

And people sometimes go like, well, I kind of feel weird because I'm teaching it.

No one else is going to teach them this.

I'm going to play some audio from my interview with Donald Trump over the weekend and also get into some other things revolving around that coming up in just a few minutes.

trying to provide relief.

So please join our efforts at mercury1.org.

Looks like Elon Musk has been named by Time magazine the person of the year.

We'll get into that a little later.

And Chris Cuomo has named our next guest, a crazy right-winger, the Fox weather bitch, which I'm sure she appreciates.

Janice Dean is with us now.

Hi, Janice.

How are you?

Oh, Glenn, you could say that word on the air.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't like to, but I want to get his words exact.

This is

another all-time low for these guys.

I'm not surprised, though.

I think you and I have spoken throughout this year and a half that I've been trying to raise awareness and accountability for the deaths of my husband's parents who were in nursing homes.

And last spring we found out that our governor forced 9,000 COVID infected patients to go into nursing homes, including my husband's parents.

And so I've kind of been on a mission to find out why.

and then find out also why he hid those numbers.

At least 15,000 seniors died and he was covering up the numbers by at least 50%.

We now know the timeline corresponded with his $5.2 million book, celebrating himself and saying he was like the best leader in the middle of a pandemic, winning an Emmy Award, going on every major news channel to celebrate himself, including on his brother's network, joking about free COVID tests that him and his family were getting while nursing homes could not test incoming patients.

And early on, I heard from a few people that know this family very well, and they told me, watch your back.

These people are vindictive.

They will come after you.

They will do whatever they have to do to silence you.

So I'm not surprised that this information is coming out, but what I am doing is I'm filing what they call a FOIL request, Freedom of Information Law here in New York, to see if I can find any paperwork, official documentation from the Cuomo administration and Chris Cuomo talking about myself or my family.

I think that is a very smart move.

These guys are, you know, we joke that they're a mob family, but they have a lot of the mob-like

attitudes and tactics.

You know, the family is number one.

They circle the wagons and they destroy anybody that gets in their way.

It really seems that way.

And I've talked to a few people who are kind of tallying up all the potential crimes.

that this administration has committed.

There are several of them, and they might even fall under the RICO Act.

I mean, this is like like an organized crime family.

I mean, I'm not joking about this, and I know you're not either.

So

do you think that

somebody is going to see jail time from all of this?

A Cuomo?

I think Andrew Cuomo could possibly see jail time from this.

Yes.

The fact that he was actively covering up nursing home deaths to benefit himself and his family,

that would be a crime.

Also, giving out out those free friends and family COVID tests to city officials using state resources to do that while nobody could get COVID tests.

And then the book deal, the book deal, the fact that they used government resources and turned the executive chambers into a book publishing company instead of saving New York, you know, instead of

governing the people he was elected to do that for.

So there are several things that are against the law that he broke the law and should be punished for.

It is fascinating to me to see how different states and people from those states are reacting to the coronavirus, where

it's cult-like.

It is almost cult-like with the vaccines and the

masking.

Now it looks like we are going to have to mask up again in some states.

New York is doing that.

Governor Inslee in Washington state said those who are unvaccinated are domestic terrorists.

They're carrying around a time bomb in their backpack.

This is insanity.

When is this going to stop?

That's a good question.

You know, our governor here in New York has basically, you know, declared a state of emergency again, and she's enforced all of those rules and regulations.

You know, even kids the age of five and under are masking up.

You know, my kids are in school every day, and yet every time I see her on television, she doesn't wear a mask.

So

we see these government officials saying that you have to do this, but yet when they go out and attend parties and functions, we don't see them with a mask on.

It's quite infuriating.

How do you think things are going to end for Fauci?

I can't understand why he's still out there speaking.

You know, this weekend, he said Americans are just going to have to deal with yearly boosters because they might become necessary.

Whoa.

But the media keeps putting him on television.

And, you know, early on, him and Andrew Cuomo were like buddies.

You know, they called each other every day.

He was very, you know, he was calling Chris Cuomo every day when Chris apparently had COVID, even though, you know, he was lying to us and was still going out

despite telling all of his viewers that he was quarantining.

So I remember when Fauci was saying that Andrew Cuomo was doing a good job as body bags are piling outside of nursing homes.

So, you know, he continues to be on television

and people are giving him airtime.

And I believe he also has a book coming out about how great he is.

Oh, my gosh.

Janice, thank you so much.

Thanks for everything that you've done.

And I hope you have a great, great holiday.

Glenn, thank you.

And thank you to your listeners as well for saying the prayers and listening to the story.

You got it.

Thank you.

That is one woman who changed the world.

She really did.

She is, I think, the reason

Cuomo is out and all of this started to snowball.

Would you agree with that?

Yeah, if there's any one person responsible for it, it's her.

I mean, I think you did a great job, too.

I mean, you were,

she would say, she would say

you are also a big part of it.

She's also the nicest person in the universe.

So which is what's so amazing about this particular scandal with Chris Cuomo.

I mean, there could not be anything more opposite of the truth than to call

Janice Dean,

you know,

an evil or whatever.

Right-winger, crazy right-winger.

And obviously the swears and stuff.

In particular, that particular term is just so not urgent.

I mean, she's really, I mean, before this Cuomo thing, obviously she's been well-known in the media for a very long time.

She is a senior meteorologist at Fox News.

She has a very long and illustrious career.

But, you know, she recently has come to writing these books about just people doing nice things for each other and going through tough times and struggles personally and overcoming them.

What a witch.

It's like the exact opposite of who she is.

And, you know, this is the type of thing that Chris Cuomo has done for CNN.

He said the opposite of the truth on the air, and and now we apparently know off the air as well.

That's who Chris Cuomo is, and what he was doing.

You know, it's so funny is they said how bad Fox News was.

And yeah, there were some problems at Fox News, sexual problems

at Fox News.

I didn't see it, but I'm not a woman.

And look at me, nobody's hitting on me.

But I know that there were problems there.

The ones that are at CNN,

you wonder

how

arrogant,

how did they ever get to a place to believe that they could behave in worse manners

and still

point to the other and not have a stone come through their glass wall?

You know, that takes balls.

You know, usually if you're doing something, you're like, and somebody else does it, you don't dogpile on that person because you don't, you know, somebody's going to go, wait a minute, what do you do?

You doing anything like that?

And they just dogpiled.

Seems like that was the cause of all these controversies, too.

They kept saying things on the air or publicly that pissed off women they had harassed over multiple people.

Or

in Don Lemon's case, a man.

And just, they just were like, okay, I can't take this anymore.

The hypocrisy, I can't take it anymore.

By the way, let me give you some good news.

Ron DeSantis

has released his budget and he's put $8 million into his budget to transport illegal immigrants out of Florida and shipping them right to the District of Columbia and Delaware.

Now, they wouldn't.

I love Martha.

Wasn't Martha's Vineyard on the list?

Yeah, Martha's Vineyard is as well.

Now, they wouldn't reject this, right?

They wouldn't say, we don't want them to come here, would they?

They certainly wouldn't say something like that because they are so willing to welcome illegal immigrants all over the country.

I hope he does it.

I really hope he does it.

Do you think he will?

It's $8 million got to be approved by the legislature, et cetera, et cetera.

But I think that says it all.

That would say it all.

You came in with airplanes in the middle of the night

and you landed and you put all these people in here without talking to anybody, not just the governor's office, but anyone in Florida.

Nobody had a voice in saying, no, we don't want the people who had just crossed here illegally.

You flew them in.

Fine, we don't want them.

We're going to give them to you because you are the leaders of this, Barack Obama.

You're the leaders of this, Washington, D.C.

You're the leaders of this, Delaware.

You take them.

How is the president going to say no in Delaware?

How is he going to say no in Martha's Vineyard?

And my temptation is to pitch it like this.

Like, hey, what are you going to say?

Are you going to say no here, guys?

Wait a minute.

I thought that you cared so much.

That's my temptation.

But in reality, let's just put it as, let's just take them at their word.

They continually say, number one, they're not a threat in any way.

There's no negative consequences from this.

And number two, they're the only ones who can help them.

And we are numbered.

And number three, if you say anything about it, you're a xenophobe.

Right.

So

let's load the plane.

I'm for the good of the illegal immigrants.

You say Republican states treat them horribly and don't give them the things that they need and treat them as others and all of these things that you say all the time.

We're all these racist states that don't want to help these fine people get along with their lives.

Well, then maybe you should take them.

Maybe you're the only one who can handle it.

So Ron DeSantis is going to be on my program on wednesday night he's the wednesday night special live for the full hour oh that's interesting yeah and uh i'm going to tell him if you can't get that through the budget

i think this audience would raise eight million dollars to do that don't you

move people out of the middle east you know to safety we should move them to the safety of martha's vineyard And I think we could raise that $8 million in about an hour.

So if he can't get it through the legislature,

our audience would raise the money and you just put it together, Ron, and we'll pay for the planes.

Because I think that is

a really good test.

Who's xenophobic?

Who thinks that they're an asset to your community in all ways?

Who thinks

they shouldn't be verified that they're not good guys or bad guys?

We're just going to take the people that you dropped off in Florida, you you didn't check, you didn't vet, you didn't vaccinate, and we're just going to drop them off on Martha's Vineyard.

Have a good time.

Fantastic.

The Martha's Vineyard one is fantastic.

They're not going to say yes to that.

No, neither will Delaware.

No, probably with Delaware.

You definitely won't get it there.

They won't even let, they weren't even letting their own citizens back on those islands during the COVID stuff.

I know.

They were like, you only a vacation home here.

You're not allowed.

Those are the good people that don't own the vacation homes.

They live there year-round.

Those are the good people.

And

I think they had a right to say, oh, you're, oh, you're only a snot from a city.

I don't know.

So I think if you own property on one of these places, you should be able to visit the property.

I don't know.

Really?

Yeah, I think so.

That's crazy old.

Oh, here he is dusting off the old Constitution again.

Here's Rough Greens.

Kurt wrote in recently about his dog experience.

He said, our five-year-old healer, Mix Pepper, loves Rough Greens on her food.

After about a week of using it, we noticed that she seemed to have more energy.

She was wanting to play more.

Rough Greens has turned back the clock on her

activity level.

These days, she acts more like a puppy again.

Couldn't be happier with Rough Greens.

Thank you.

Kurt, thank you for writing in.

I feel the same way about Uno.

He's 10, which makes him an older German Shepherd, but he is acting like a puppy all the time.

Glad to hear it worked for Pepper as well.

Try it with your dog.

It's a free bag right now.

You can just try it out.

All you pay for is the shipping.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

So you did the Bill O'Reilly event this weekend with the president, former President Trump.

They're doing a bunch of cities around the country.

You can still get tickets, I believe, to some of them.

And I've noticed there's this attack going on that there is nobody there.

Now, I saw the pictures.

There seemed to be a lot of people there.

There was a ton of people there.

It was probably, I don't know, 10 or 11,000 people there.

Nonsense.

Basically, nonsense.

Yeah,

they took the upper, upper level off, but there's a ton of things that, you know, you're not selling every

in an 18,000-seat venue, selling 11,000 is pretty damn good.

And it was packed.

It just was the upper nosebleed seats that, quite honestly, in some of those venues, you don't want to have people sitting in there because of the echo.

It's made for basketball or hockey.

Right.

And so the spoken word events are difficult in venues like that.

We've had that issue before as well.

So did you get

booed when you came out?

I was kind of hoping there might be a loud, you know, like just deep guttural boo when you walked on stage.

Any of that happen?

well you have the audio you'll have to hear for yourself really when I walked out on stage yeah yeah because I was gonna say they're probably just saying stew and that no I said I said stew and they said

I was like no it's stew

this is the Glenn Beck program let me tell you about Built Bar

better than a candy bar Better than a candy bar rich with flavor covered in real chocolate yet amazingly low in calorie sugar net carbs, and fat.

They're high in protein, so they're delicious and healthy.

Well, you have the raspberry, the raspberry chocolate, the orange chocolate, the mint brownie, the cherry, the double chocolate cookies and cream, peanut butter brownie.

I mean, they are really good, especially at times of high stress with lots of cookies and other treats around.

Do yourself a favor, get something healthy and delicious.

It's Built Bar.

All right.

We're going to talk a little bit about what happened with Trump.

There was some news made from the history tour.

Trump on reparations and China,

the world leaders, and

what was offered for January 6th.

That's all coming up in just a second.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This

is

the Glenback Program.

I was with President Trump Friday and Saturday, and I've got a lot to share with you, but I want to start on Saturday first.

Saturday afternoon,

I was with Bill O'Reilly and President Trump at Bill's History Tour, which I think had two stops this weekend, has a couple of other stops now in

Texas.

It is well worth your time seeing.

It's not a rally.

It is a serious sit-down with President Trump.

And

we have Bill O'Reilly here to talk about a few of the things that happened, the news that was broken.

We have the audio on President Trump.

I think one of the more interesting things is how Speaker Pelosi turned down Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops for January 6th.

We'll tell you about that

in 60 seconds.

You want to create some valuable breathing room in your budget, pay less for your home, and possibly save up to $1,000 a month.

Now is the time to refinance your mortgage.

You have the benefit now of extremely low mortgage rates and the incentive of an economy that has gone insane and may not stabilize for quite some time.

Take a look at your loan.

What's the interest rate that you're running into?

If you're paying higher than 3%, it's time to get a lower interest rate.

And you can do that by placing a call to American Financing.

Imagine how much it could free up, not having to pay such a high rate.

Imagine what skipping a mortgage payment or two over the next couple of months could do.

And if you take your high interest credit cards and you roll them into your mortgage, you'd save up to $1,000 every single month.

Oh my gosh.

How are you?

I will tell you,

I was in town last night.

I did an interview with the president, and he is in a very good mood.

You're going to enjoy tonight.

I got here last night, and Bill O'Reilly invited me to have dinner with him and some friends, and I

then got an invitation to have dinner with the president in Melania, and so I felt bad the whole time.

Thinking of Bill at that Applebee's all by himself.

I'm not going to waste any time.

This is the show everybody has been waiting for.

This is the show that President Biden said:

ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute.

This is no joke.

I

verify this is on Bill O'Reilly Stationery.

He asked me to say this.

Mayor Glenn, please say, as you know,

Bill is a humble guy.

No, ask him.

Seriously, he will tell you.

His best trait is his humility.

And that is saying something.

So,

introduction is short.

He is the most successful cable news anchor of all time

and the best-selling non-fiction book author of all time.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome.

I can't read the rest.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bill O'Reilly.

And we welcome Bill to the program today.

Hello, Bill.

How are you?

Yeah, I was stunned the crowd liked you.

I was equally as stunned that they liked you.

By the way,

I was trying to get you in there so I wouldn't look so bad.

Right.

I want to thank you for the hospitality.

Can we throw up, if you're watching on the blaze, throw up the picture of me outside of the venue for about 20 minutes in the heat.

Just wait, do we have that?

Do we don't have that?

There we go.

There I am.

And I don't know if we have the picture of me in this luxurious dressing room.

It was the Panthers

you know, NHL team.

NHL team, what do you call those locker rooms?

There was, there was, there wasn't even a water in there for me, but I appreciate it.

It was a great way to, you know, show me what was important and who was important.

We want to keep you humble, Dex.

So I want to play a couple of clips because I think there, there was some news made.

And when you first came out, you said that, you know, this is not a rally.

This is to put things on the record.

And there's a couple of things.

Let's play cut three here.

Here's Nancy Pelosi, January 6th.

I knew how large this was going to be because everyone I knew was saying, oh, we're going to be there on the 6th.

We're going to be no matter where you went.

I said, I think this is going to be really big.

And I asked the Secretary of Defense, I said, I think you should recommend to Nancy Pelosi and to Congress, because they're the ones that control it, I would like to recommend 10,000 National Guardsmen to go and to police here just in case.

I mean, it's a massive rally.

This could be over a million people.

And by the way, I think it was substantially over a million people.

You never hear that, but I think it was substantially.

Did the DOD go to Pelosi?

Yeah, he did.

And they turned, Chris Miller, who was a great guy and did a great job.

He went to them.

He made, I didn't do it as an order.

I did it as a suggestion.

Because remember, they run the police.

Pelosi.

Pelosi and Schumer run that whole operation.

So a lot of people don't know this.

They don't like to report it.

So they went there.

They recommended that I had, that I said, only because I knew the size of this crowd was going to be enormous.

What you see there was, again, a very small number of people relative to the people that heard the speeches and went home.

And I said 10,000 people.

And Nancy Pelosi turned it down.

Did you ever ask her why?

Did you ever no, I didn't ask her why.

She'd give her a teacher.

Next time I talk to her, I'll ask her.

It would be a good thing.

Next time you talk to her, ask her.

Anybody want to ask her why?

But you don't hear that.

I mean, I'll bet you most of the people in this audience have never heard that before.

So I recommended 10, but I said, do whatever they want.

They're running the Capitol.

They know what they're doing.

And the Capitol Police knew about it, and she knew about it.

And they turned it down because they said it didn't look good.

Okay, so Bill, this answers one of one of the questions.

Where was the National Guard?

And

the second question is, why did it take so long to get

anybody out there?

They knew

even worse than that because you have this committee in the House

investigating President Trump for instigating the attack on the Capitol.

So now

he goes on the record and says, two days before I wanted 10,000 guard in D.C., not only at the Capitol, but other government offices.

And

the

Pelosi would know.

Now the Washington Post has disputed that, but it looks like

Donald Trump did exactly what he said he did.

And, you know, you can't trust the hate Trump media at all.

But

this just

basically knocks out that House committee.

The whole premise goes down the drain.

And that was

one of my goals was to get on the record

a bunch of stuff that has never been reported to the American people.

And we succeeded in doing that, but it wasn't an easy slog.

You have another clip you want to run?

Because I have two points I want to make, but I I don't want to interrupt the flow.

Yeah, so let me just give you, let me give you one more.

Here's Trump on China and reparations.

Listen to this.

Do you think the Chinese government had anything to do with that virus?

Well, I think this.

I think they have to pay a price for the damage they cause to the world.

I do think that.

What price would that be?

It's got to be a price.

And by the way,

they create a lot of money.

I don't know that they have a lot of money, but they certainly create a lot of money.

Nobody has the money that we're talking about.

We're talking about probably 50 or 60 trillion dollars.

They don't have that money.

Nobody has that money.

Nobody will ever have that money, the damage and the death that has been caused.

So a lot of people ask me that question.

I personally don't think so, but I'll tell you what they did do very badly.

They didn't let the world know about it.

They didn't tell people to keep up your guard.

They guarded China.

You couldn't get out of Wuhan or you couldn't get out of the Wuhan province.

They covered covered it up the province.

Well, no.

You couldn't get into China, but you could get into Europe and you could get into the U.S., you could get all over the world, but they wouldn't let you.

So that's a thing that they're going to have to explain.

And if we had the right people, they would be explaining.

But they should.

We talk about reparations.

They should pay reparations for the damage.

We've done that with you.

All right.

Bill, go ahead.

Yes.

Well, I mean, you basically have a situation here where you have a sitting president

coming in and answering very serious questions.

And my task,

and I know you saw this, is some of the people in the audience, and the audience was huge, and I want to get to that in a moment, they thought they were at a rally.

So I actually scolded them.

I had to scold them.

I was stern.

I said, wait a minute, this is the president of the United States.

We're getting information we don't know.

And you're going, oh, no,

no,

don't do that.

This is a very serious thing.

Now, I did get it under control.

And the next night in Orlando, it wasn't that way.

But because there are 11,000 in the building in Fort Lauderdale,

there were people who couldn't grasp the concept that this was one of the only times that Donald Trump had been asked serious questions about the world and the country because the corrupt media didn't want to hear any of this and still doesn't.

And that brings me to Newsweek.

So Newsweek, one of the most corrupt

pieces of garbage in the country, runs a piece that says, oh, there were all these empty seats and you know, and then it's immediately picked up by the Daily Bee, Stuff and the post all it is crap all right

here's here's the timeline 30,000 people have bought tickets to these four shows and the Texas shows on Saturday and Sunday Houston Dallas are still selling 30,000 people in the middle of a pandemic the show in Lauderdale grossed $2 million

And Newsweek puts out this garbage, this lie, on purpose to denigrate the show.

And it gets picked up and distributed.

Well,

here is here's the thing that here's the thing that I thought of, Bill, as I was leaving, before I heard any of that this morning.

When I was leaving the venue, I looked at my staff and said, name another president from either party that could have sold at $100 a pop an interview with him

and sold that many tickets.

I mean,

there's

no have done it.

No one.

In the middle of a pandemic.

Now, that's, listen,

there were people who absolutely wanted to see the program, the show, but were afraid to go, particularly elderly people.

All right.

And I know that to be true.

But we are,

this is probably the most

successful political show

in the history of the world.

It really is.

It probably is.

I mean,

I saw the Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl here a couple of weeks ago, and there were a lot of unsold seats there as well.

But this was a good-sized crowd.

Let me ask you this.

The problem with the tickets, because this is what I heard, that somebody had hacked in and made some of the tickets look like fraudulent.

And so that caused some of the delay.

People had to go to the will call.

Was there...

Was there anything nefarious that was going on with that?

I didn't hear any of that at all.

The Secret Service had, you know, obviously when you've got that many people coming in,

it slowed it down as far as people getting into the arena.

And then there was you standing out there, and I caused a riot, and people wanted to get your autograph

all by myself, kicking rocks in the parking lot, asking myself, why the hell did I agree to do this for Bill?

I just don't get it.

You were a big hit, Beth.

That was good for you.

Thanks a lot, Bill.

I appreciate it.

All right.

Thanks for helping us out.

And we'll talk again later this week, I hope.

You got it.

In Houston at the Toyota Center, tickets are still available at toyotacenter.com.

And that is on the 18th, 19th in Dallas at the American Airlines Center, ticketmaster.com.

I will tell you this.

Donald Trump is in a really good place right now.

I worried about that

because he wasn't in a really good place just a few months ago, if you remember at the beginning of the year.

Not a good place.

And he's in a really good place.

And I'm going to share some of the things that I learned from him in our interview.

I did a sit-down with him about the future.

And that is going to air in January.

But I want to play a couple of cuts from that coming up in just a little while.

First, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins books.

These are books that are an absolute must.

If you are a parent or a grandparent, if you care about the country, you need to read these with your kids, Tuttle Twins books.

They have toddlers and children's books that explore the principles of freedom using stories and pictures.

They have great stories that help teenagers.

Even you will learn a lot.

I learned a lot.

They have a free market curriculum with lessons that explore how free markets work, so your kids understand supply, demand, inflation, and how government intervention affects an economy.

They have the principles of liberty, things that our founders knew, that our kids don't know, and most of us probably don't even know.

I urge you to get these books for your kids and your grandkids.

They are going to be the ones that will be life or death for the Republic.

So we know Bill made some news with his interview

with the president on stage.

You conducted an interview at Mar-a-Lago as well, which is coming out on a podcast in January, right after the new year, kind of getting the new year started.

One of your focuses going in

was

how do you keep this looking only to the future?

Were you able to actually get him to talk about the future?

Do you, was that

really?

Yeah, he was really, really,

he was right on.

I said to him right before, I said, Mr.

President, this one is going to be airing in January, so I want to look forward, not backward.

And he said, okay.

And I said, I'm going to just talk about the economy and everything that's going on.

So whenever you're ready.

And he said, I'm ready now.

And we sat down and did the interview.

And he was on it.

I mean, he was throwing numbers out, you know, about how much we spend per kid and what China was doing and what Russia is doing and the supply chain.

That guy is on it.

He's on it.

He is crystal clear.

He, I honestly, looking at him and being around him, I feel older than he does.

I mean, I don't know what it is in his gen, in his genes, but that guy is on top of it.

On top of it.

Did you ask him if he,

I almost want to say, did you ask him off the air?

Because he's not going to answer it on the air.

But did you talk to him at all about running?

And what do you, do you think he's running?

So I haven't listened back to it yet.

But

my producer that was there making notes, I saw her eyes go wide at one point.

We got off and she said, I can't believe you didn't follow up on that.

And I said, what?

And she said, he basically told you he was running.

And

I didn't, I don't know why, but I didn't hear that.

But he went with the premise the whole time.

I just said, let's just assume.

Uh-huh.

So what would you do?

And he never.

He never said, now remember, I'm not running or, you know, what usually.

Yeah, typical disclaimer stuff.

He put no disclaimers in there.

And we talked about the economy.

We talked about

the dangers that are ahead.

Putin.

In fact, I think we're going to play what he said about Putin

and

Joe Biden because

it's significant.

It's significant.

Did he use the word transitory at any point?

No, he didn't.

No, okay.

No, he didn't.

What was awful?

Yeah, okay.

Shameful, intentional,

going to get harder and harder to fix.

But I fixed it before.

I guess I'll have to fix it again.

The intentional part of that is interesting.

So they did, he, because there's certainly, I think, a conflict between the idea that maybe Joe Biden's just really bad at this job, or is it that Joe Biden is intentionally bad at this job?

He said you can't look at all of the things that have happened and

not seriously think this has got to be intentional.

He's like, everything that the man does is not in our favor.

You can't just, you can't flip a coin and be wrong that many times in a row, but

correct.

It was fascinating.

I also asked him: will you abolish the Department of Ed?

Will you go in and clean house top to bottom, State Department, CIA,

NSC, all of these things?

I named like about eight cabinet positions and said, fire, would you fire everyone top to bottom?

Wait till you hear that answer.

Wait till you hear that answer.

And you had dinner with the president.

Well, I have to tell you about dinner.

Yeah.

Melania is the first time I've ever met Melania.

She is more gracious and more beautiful in person

than

you think.

Wait until you hear an answer.

Ricky, our producer, was trying to get her to say something mean,

and she just wouldn't do it.

This is the Glenback program.

All right, let me tell you about Built Bars.

Built.com.

They say you can't take it with you.

But while I think that's probably true,

there's not a U-Haul behind a hearse that I've ever seen, although I might insist on one of those for my funeral.

Just in case, I like to, you know, have Bilt Bars on me at all times.

Maybe I can have a snack on the way to that big radio station in the sky someday.

Built, built.com.

Every time you bite into a Bilt Bar, you'll feel like you died and went to heaven.

It is great.

They're candy bars, but they are healthy for you.

100%

real chocolate.

Also made high in protein and fiber, low in fat, low in carbs.

You can get them because,

I mean, once you have one,

you will realize what I'm saying.

I'm not making up.

It tastes like a candy bar.

So I was fortunate enough to sit with the president for about an hour for a special that is going to air on Saturday.

I'm going to play a couple of clips here for you in a second.

But it'll air next January, right at the beginning of the year.

But I was at Mar-Lago.

And Mar-a-Lago is this

incredible.

It's the second largest mansion in Florida.

It was built in the 1920s.

I think it took them from 23 to 27 to build.

It was built by E.F.

Hutton and

Marjorie Merriweather Post from the Post

money, you know, the serial people.

And they couldn't afford the upkeep by 1975.

And it is, Mar-a-Lago means, I think, from river to sea or from ocean to, I don't know, but it basically sits and goes across all of West Palm.

So it's on the Gulf side and the ocean side, the other way.

And

typical Donald Trump, they couldn't afford it anymore.

So they gave it to the state of Florida, the Meriwether Post people, gave it to the state of Florida and said, you should fix this up and it could be the winter White House.

And so the state of Florida took it, made it a historic site, and then couldn't afford to, couldn't afford to do anything.

So

Post,

Congress, I think in 1980, took it and said,

we don't want this.

Florida said, we don't want this.

It's too expensive.

And so they gave it back to the Post family.

And so they put it up for sale for, I think, $20 million.

Donald Trump offers $15.

This is so Donald Trump.

Offers $15 million for it.

And when they said, no, are you crazy?

It's worth more than that.

He bought the property

just adjoining on the ocean side and said, well, okay, well, I'm going to build my house right here and it'll obstruct your view.

And because everybody believed him, he got it for $10 million.

Is that not Donald Trump?

Wow.

He is a genius at negotiation, cutthroat, but a genius at negotiation, a genius.

I asked him, I said, so you got it for $10 million.

He sold the furniture, which raised $10 million, so he paid for it immediately.

And then he was going to make it into a private house.

And he lived in it for about, I don't even know, eight years, maybe.

Then when he hit hard times, he wanted to make it into a hotel.

It's a national historic site.

They couldn't do that.

So he made it into a

croquet club.

And you can now go and stay there and have dinner, etc., etc.

If you're part of the club, let me just give you the stats on this thing.

It is, by the way, Mar-a-Lago means sea to lake.

That's what it is.

It has 58 bedrooms,

33 bathrooms, a 29-foot-long

marble-top dining table, 12 fireplaces, and three bomb shelters.

Just the three.

Just the three.

It is, it's spectacular.

I asked him if I could come back and do a documentary on Mar-a-Lago because it is beautiful.

The way he has redone it, it's stunning.

I mean, it's better than the breakers.

The breakers is held by the United States government, and it's dusty and musty.

And

Mar-a-Lago is pristine and it's it's remarkable.

So anyway, we were there and we were in this

little place that must have been like the children's theater or a place back in the 20s where somebody would come to sing or play the piano.

It had a little teeny stage in it and could probably fit about 30 people sitting down.

And we were in that room.

And we started to talk.

And I'm going to play a couple of cuts here for you.

This is from the special that will air

next January.

Here is cut one when we were talking about Russia, Putin, and Biden.

One of the first things that Joe Biden did was to stop the Keystone pipeline and then say to Russia, you can build your pipeline.

That's something that Reagan, forever we've been saying, don't do that.

Poland begged him.

Ukraine begged him.

Don't do that.

You had...

I stopped it.

You had stopped it.

It was done.

Correct.

If you would have done that, people would have said, see, there's,

he's friends with Putin, he loves Putin.

It's like crazy.

I watched, this is being taped in, what is it, November or December,

and it would be airing in January.

But I think it was this week, I watched Putin look at Joe Biden.

I didn't see respect or fear

from him, a fear of the United States or respect for the United States.

True.

You know Putin.

You know how he thinks.

You know how to deal with him.

Is he going to move into Ukraine, do you think?

Well, it's looking like that.

You know, when Biden told him about, well, he was talking about sanctions.

When Biden says sanctions, Putin's saying, sanctions, if they're only going to sanction, then

there's no sanction that's going to stop me from taking over a country.

And by the way, it's a massive piece of land in an unbelievable location.

You know that.

But he didn't say there could be very serious consequence.

A sanction is not a serious consequence, no matter how strong it is.

Not when it comes to taking over a country.

And there was no fear.

Let me play

one more clip.

Do we have the China clip?

Is that what we're going to play next?

No, this is Fauci.

Listen to what he said about Fauci.

Before we leave, I I know you're on a tight schedule.

I think

Melania.

No, stop, stop, stop.

That's cut 14.

Cut 13, please.

Jackie, I think

when this was coming out of China, it was perfectly reasonable to shut everything down because we didn't know.

They were welding people into their homes in China.

We had no idea, and they weren't being opened.

And by the way, they weld them in, and they never opened them.

And that was the end of them.

Fauci,

I wanted to give everybody the benefit of the doubt in those early days.

We have done a ton of research.

I did one of the biggest chalkboards I think I've ever done.

They were using federal government money to do

Wuhan.

Yeah, Wuhan.

I stopped it.

I was the one that stopped it.

You did, but I don't think Fauci cared about that.

Fauci's now claiming he's science.

Did you ever...

Did you ever,

would he still be working for you today?

No, not now, but he's a great promoter.

He's not a great doctor, but he's a great promoter.

But you have to understand, everything he wanted, I didn't do.

As an example, he wanted to keep it open to China.

He ultimately was wrong about that, and admitted it, and admitted that I saved tens of thousands of lives.

He wanted to keep it open.

I saw what was happening in Italy and France and Spain.

And I closed it to Europe very early.

You know, in China, it was January I closed it.

And in Europe, it was shortly thereafter.

We saved thousands and thousands of lives.

He wanted to do that.

And then his big one of them all is

the masks are useless.

They don't mean anything.

And then all of a sudden, he wants you to wear 10 masks.

Wear as many as you can, put them all over, cover your ears, do everything.

So I didn't really do much of what he said.

And

he wasn't a big factor for me, in a sense, because of that.

It's an interesting interview, and and

he's in a really

good place.

And I think I understand

him

even more.

He feels a great deal of loyalty to the people who have supported him.

I mean, the one thing I've learned about Donald Trump is Loyalty is everything.

That is probably the highest virtue to him.

And it goes two ways, loyalty to him and loyalty to his friends.

And he considers the people that voted for him friends.

And I think that's what the press meets when he does rallies.

It's like sitting down at a, you know,

in some guy's living room and watching TV together.

And he's like, ah, you know what?

You know what's really crazy?

I mean,

he just relates to people and just talks to people like people.

And the press isn't used to that.

And nor do they like that.

He's not an elitist, which is really crazy because of all of the gold rooms that surround him.

He seems like he could very easily be an elitist, but he's not.

And so he's very confusing

if you just want to put people in boxes.

But he said, he,

you know, he didn't make any announcements, but when we talked about

the

idea of him running again,

he spoke about

the

people that

he feels in a way were let down,

that,

you know, he promised to do certain things.

He did them.

And

he can't let those people down.

He's got to go in and correct these problems.

Again, he didn't make any announcement at all that I felt, but he spoke about the obligation that he feels from the people who support him.

That they love the country.

He loves the country.

You know, these Marxists that are in destroying everything

and look at the state of the economy and he feels he's uniquely positioned to fix that.

And I think he is.

I think he is.

We're going to play one more cut before we go today in about an hour with

Melania.

She was a remarkable,

remarkable woman.

He invited us to dinner after I finished and he said to the whole crew and one of the guys was just wearing jeans and a t-shirt, I think.

And he's like, you guys want to have dinner?

And said, well, it was either that or McDonald's.

So either that or Bill O'Reilly at Applebee's.

So we'll take that.

And so we had dinner and met Melania for the first time.

She is more gracious than

you would expect.

And you would expect her to be gracious.

She's always seemed gracious.

But I found her to be remarkable.

And we took something that she said two different ways.

Ricky, who is our executive producer, who I think just

wanted her to lash out just for her own satisfaction, you know, just for, because Melania should lash out because she was treated like a dog by the press.

And so Ricky wanted some satisfaction of, yes, she saw it and she was pissed.

And she wouldn't give it to her.

Now,

Ricky feels that it was kind of like, oh, well, why don't you have some sweet tea?

Oh, well, bless bless your heart.

And you know what that means.

I don't think so.

I think she was just completely sincere.

Ricky said, what do you think of the new

Christmas decorations of the White House, which I personally think are atrocious, but who cares?

Melania said,

well, you know, the wonderful thing about

this country is we all can have different

likes or opinions.

We can all have different opinions and different tastes, and it all works out.

I'm like, oh my gosh, that is so sweet.

And that's when Ricky was thinking, well, bless their heart.

Yeah, bless their heart there, the Biden administration.

Perfect night's sleep.

What does it feel like?

Well, I will tell you, if you have my pillow and any of the other products he makes, you might feel it every single night.

You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.

It's Glenn, there's a new story that came out today, and it sounds negative at first, and I want to warn you.

Sounds negative at first.

It sounds negative at first.

But it's not going to end negative.

We can turn this around.

All right, okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, as you know, I'm a huge LeBron James fan.

Oh, big supporter of him.

Yeah.

Really excited for all of his efforts.

So if you remember the one thing that people say when you say LeBron James is a terrible human being,

they will mention he started a school.

And he did, kind of.

And there's some details around that.

We don't need to get into right now.

Let's just give him full credit for the school today.

Sure.

Why?

Well, the principal of the LeBron James I Promise school has resigned after slapping an 11-year-old student in the face.

Now, this sounds like a negative story, and I can understand how you might react that way.

Sure.

In fact, it was actually pretty bad.

The busted lip and was bleeding.

She eventually texted the mom.

Mom, not happy about the whole situation, shockingly.

However, the good thing about this story is

when the kid was slapped by the principal of LeBron James's school, the kid was masked.

And there is a lot of people who are

preventing the spread of COVID-19.

That is great.

Yes.

That is great.

That's really good.

So he

made the kid bleed through the mask.

Through the mask.

I mean, because you hit someone with a cloth mask on their face, you have to get pretty hard to get bleeding out of it.

I mean, in all seriousness, a pretty disturbing story.

But not a shock from

LeBron James school, not really.

At all.

Now, do I have evidence that LeBron James texted this particular principal and asked her to hit the children?

But you don't like speculation.

Absolutely not.

I just want to say I don't have that evidence at this time.

I just want to make sure people know.

You don't.

I don't have that evidence.

I don't.

I'm not claiming to have it.

Right.

Nor can I produce it at this time.

What I can produce is don'tbelebron.com.

You can get your don't be an idiot, don't be a LeBron t-shirt.

That I can promise you.

That's there.

That's real, Glenn.

Well, you don't know that the other isn't real.

You just don't have the evidence.

I don't have any evidence on it whatsoever, therefore, I can't produce it.

Yeah.

But

keep Blitz listening and watching for that, Stu.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

This is the Glenn Bach program.

Let me tell you a little bit about Echelon.

It is,

first of all, I think it's uncomfortable.

Yes, I have ridden on one.

They're uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable because they keep making you move your legs all the time.

That's exactly fair, Chris.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the program.

Jim Kramer says we're in the strongest economy he's ever seen.

Wow, I wonder what happened there.

Also, the voice of a tornado survivor today.

And what did Putin do when he hung up the phone with Joe Biden after talking about Ukraine?

Actions speak louder than words.

What did Putin do?

We'll tell you in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

The CEO of Goldman Sachs just said publicly that he expects to see lower returns on stocks for the next few years.

Gee, sounds like the old market's overinflated, or a giant bubble.

Maybe.

Maybe it's time to take some of the winnings off the table and move them into something more conservative, something that will protect that asset of yours.

Time-tested winner, as always, is precious metals.

Gold and silver are where you want to be when the next crash comes, and it could be closer than you think.

I invest in gold as a hedge against insanity and chaos, because in the end, that is something physical that you can hold in your hand that the world has always returned to.

I know, I know, this time it's different.

Except that's what they say every time.

Call Goldline this week to learn about how to diversify and protect a portion of your investment portfolio with precious metals.

This week, Goldline is offering 6% in promotional medals and qualifying self-directed IRA acquisitions.

So call and speak with an account executive right now.

They're waiting for your call at 866Goldline.

CBS News Sunday morning had First Lady Jill Biden on.

We don't have the audio for you because

nobody ever thought CBS,

you know, Sunday morning was important to tape.

So I'm just going to give you the transcript.

They had Jill Biden on, and

they talked to her about the plummeting polls.

And she said, you know, during the campaign, Joe made certain promises, things that he would do.

And we're going through a pandemic, which no one would have anticipated.

Wait a minute.

Stu help me out.

During the campaign, Joe made certain promises, things that he would do, but we're going through a pandemic which no one could have anticipated.

Yeah, they're basically saying that, you know, the COVID-19 pandemic would not be something you could have foreseen in 2020 when the election was going on but but the pandemic was going on in 2020

when the election was going on well

well the COVID-21 pandemic right okay not the COVID-19 pandemic the COVID-21 pandemic okay which is which is that's not what anyway so he came in and uh he did his uh american rescue plan which rescued america

has it rescued

because if this is your rescue thank you.

I'll stay in the lifeboat.

Millions of families got money because they were desperate.

We have vaccines for kids ages five and up that, quite honestly, nobody wants.

And now, with the infrastructure plan, we're going to have better roads and better buildings so we don't have asbestos and better drinking water.

So the reporter, Rita Braver, said, So you figure once the public comprehends this, things will turn around?

I do.

I do.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't think so.

You know, getting rid of asbestos, sure, important, but I don't see that on any poll.

Really?

No, I don't.

I don't.

You don't see that topping the list of all concerns?

I don't.

It is ahead of global warming.

So that's good.

It is

a higher concern than that.

But that's about it.

Right, right.

They also asked if she was, you know, worried about her, you know, husband's mental decline.

He said, she said i mean this is ridiculous joe's on the phone every single minute of the day talking to governors who are calling him and nancy pelosi that's why we're worried about it because he keeps calling the same people over and over again it's like joe we just talked five minutes ago did not remember that he's on zoom he's doing fundraisers he's doing briefings i mean he doesn't stop from nine in the morning till 11 at night Does anybody believe that?

I'm just going to say that thing, same thing.

No way.

No way.

I understand.

The person that we're talking about here is your husband, and you're going to say nice things about him, but no one believes that he's working from, what was it, 9 a.m.

9 a.m.

to 11.

To 11 p.m.

Nobody believes that.

No way.

Nobody believes that.

Nope.

On the phone the whole time, in meetings the whole time.

Nope.

Well, I mean, it's almost a worse.

case scenario for him.

Like if he if this is him doing the work Cause I can't I mean like you want to give him a break Maybe he's just really tired and he's going to bed at 5 p.m.

and he's not doing anything.

That's the better case scenario here.

You know, I mean, have you seen, did you see the pictures that came out of Afghanistan over the weekend?

No.

The country is in full economic collapse.

Of course it is.

Now, shockingly, this incredibly talented economic crew of the Taliban is not able to manage their economy all that well.

But like people are starving.

Forget the terrorism and the things that we expected going in.

This is also expected, but a different element here, where the entire country has collapsed.

And we keep, you know, we said this, and I think it's correct in some ways, but a lot of people said, like, you know, we were there for 20 years and all of this was for nothing.

You know, it really wasn't for nothing.

I mean, the life of

the people there was a lot better than when we got there in 2008.

And there was a lot of people that, you know, a lot of women had freedom for for the very first time.

People who were born the day we went in experienced school.

The women, the girls, experienced school for the first time.

Yeah, famously, obviously, when the Taliban was there, the female schooling rate was like literally 0%,

right?

But people forget that before the Taliban got there, it was like 20%.

It wasn't like, it wasn't a good situation.

When our last numbers before we left Afghanistan, the numbers were in the 80s, 80% of girls going to school.

And that is going to crash back down again to close to zero in the middle of a complete economic collapse.

And I think it's a fair argument for us to say, there's probably many people in the audience making this point inside their heads, that...

It's not our job to micromanage their economy.

It's not our job to make sure their kids go to school.

It's not our job to make the life of Afghani citizens better.

And that's all fair, and I think true from a policy perspective.

Did not have to happen this way.

Did not have to be complete and utter collapse immediately.

Did not have to be turned over to a group of people who have outwardly advocated for the death of women who don't follow all of their rules to a T for decades.

It did not have to happen like this.

It also doesn't have to happen in our own United States.

You know, we brought in some of the female governors.

from Afghanistan, and one of them is now speaking out and saying,

I can't get the State Department to listen, but I came in and they have brought terrorists into America.

I know I've seen them.

And you got to stop this.

And nobody is paying any attention.

But that's probably because we're all celebrating about the economy.

I don't know if you heard Jim Kramer, but he says this is the strongest economy he's ever seen.

All right, first of all.

To me, we have the strongest economy perhaps I have ever seen.

She had a number this morning, the unemployment number, it's the best in years.

It's not the best in 69.

We all have all spotted the endless help-wanted signs, the housing and apartment shortages, the tremendous demand for goods and services, a marvel to behold.

Oh, people are confident about their jobs.

I say fantastic.

And the ability to even get better ones if they want to.

They're spending more than I've ever seen, but they're doing it with cash, not on credit.

They're doing so in a Roaring 20s style.

Okay, first of all, the Roaring 20s didn't end well

because it was all paper and

just all hype.

That's why by the end of the Roaring Twenties.

Wait, wait a minute.

You've done show after show after show about the Roaring 20s.

At the end, it was all about hype.

At the end, you're not back with Calvin Coolidge here, are you?

I want to make sure we're not going down that road.

It started

as

real economic recovery.

It was real economic recovery.

And by about the time of 1928,

it started to get out of control.

27, 28, people were just caught up.

You know, people invest in the stock market.

Americans are different.

They buy high, not low.

You know what I mean?

Yay.

I know.

When everybody's doing it, that's when we want it.

And that's not a good trait for Americans.

For investing.

For investing.

Yeah.

So by 1927, 28, the average person was starting to get into the stock market and they were leveraging their homes and it had become insanity at the very end.

So that's what I think we're in right now.

If he wants to talk about the 1920s, first of all, it's the big guys that are all, you know, just roaring into the stock market.

Everybody else, I don't think people are in the stock market right now

to get

thinking, I've got to mortgage my home.

to be able to get into the stock market because it's that good.

It's all of the free money that is coming from the government to these big institutions that are investing in the market.

Yeah.

And I think like, look, there are some economic indicators that are not terrible right now, but you have to put that in context, right?

We've just dumped $8 trillion into this economy over the past two years.

I mean,

anybody can buy short-term economic sugar, right?

You can buy some of that.

We're seeing the

already seeing the negatives of that, though.

We're seeing a workforce that doesn't want to work.

We're seeing inflation that's going crazy.

We're seeing housing markets so that people can't afford housing in the areas where they should be able to afford it.

You know, we're seeing supply chain disruptions.

All of this has to do with the events surrounding this

entire infusion of capital into the market, printing money.

And

yeah, you can get some, there are positive benefits.

Anytime, you know, like if you want to have a stimulus plant plan where you're just going to pay everybody a million dollars, I mean, there'd probably be a short time where that would seem like it was working really well.

The problem is long-term, what are the consequences?

And we're already seeing them.

We're seeing the negatives.

We're seeing wages rise, yes, by about 4%.

And then you see what prices are doing.

And the 4% doesn't feel that good to most people because, yes, maybe their money has gone up slightly.

And that's an

economy-wide number, too.

That doesn't mean that everybody is getting raises from day to day.

They're not getting a raise raise every month as inflation increases.

They're just dealing with it.

They're eating it.

They're suffering under this.

And while there are some economic indicators you can point to for hope, they've been doing that for a long time, Glenn.

This has been a long time pitch.

This transitory pitch was based off of those.

And there's two people in particular that were called by the White House and, hey, can you help us out?

One of them was Jim Kramer.

One of them was Don Lemon.

And both of those guys last week were all over the economy.

It's fantastic.

People are working.

No, they're not.

No, they're not.

Jobs.

Jobs are wanted everywhere.

I'm not jobs.

Employees are wanted for jobs everywhere.

And as Stu said, people aren't working.

When he says,

look at the demand and the supply.

You know, we've got so much demand right now.

Yeah, because the system is clogged.

You know, how many people have been waiting for for something for a very long time?

The system is broken.

And, you know, these, I'm disappointed in Jim Kramer.

I mean, I think...

I like Jim Kramer.

I mean, we've always liked him.

I do.

I've always liked him.

And look, he has a different take on the economy.

That's not the biggest deal in the world.

It doesn't make him a bad guy, obviously.

Yeah, but he's, come on.

Do you really think he believes that?

I mean, I don't know.

I mean, he's, you know, Jim has always been a pretty optimistic guy on the economy, I would say.

So he may very well believe it.

But I think that, you know, that doesn't, obviously he would allow this as well.

He has a lot of people who disagree with him on his show, and we have them on ours.

I think you see a major difference of opinion here.

I hope he's right, man.

Maybe this is going to turn out all right.

But

how many times has it occurred before?

When's the last time an economy attempted something like this and it worked out?

I don't remember it.

I can't think of it worldwide.

And let me give you this.

These are all the same experts that said, no, I mean, Joe Biden gave him warning, gave Putin all kinds of warning.

He laid down the law with Vladimir Putin, told him, don't you dare go into Ukraine.

You've got far too many troops on the border.

Let me just play this from ABC.

This is the report from the weekend on what Vladimir Putin did after his conference with Joe Biden.

I mean, he is moving in those troops.

After that call with President Biden, they added more troops.

They added at least 10,000 more troops.

So I

10,000 more troops.

This is going really well.

Oh, it is.

It is.

So thank you very much.

Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

I want to remind you, you still live in a country where you're allowed to do business as you please.

And now, more than ever, it is important to support companies like Patriot Mobile who not only share our beliefs, but stand behind them with action.

Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless carrier, and they donate a portion of every single dollar to organizations that fight for causes that you and I care about.

They use the same cell towers as the major carriers, so you get the great service from them.

You get plans to fit any budget.

A 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional service.

And as I said, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports the organizations that are fighting for our religious freedom, our constitutional rights, our right to free speech, the right to life,

and veteran issues, first responders, heroes.

They support these people.

The choice is clear.

10 seconds, station ID.

So I spent some time with the president over the weekend on Friday and Saturday.

Did an interview with him, and I wanted to play a final cut from that interview because

they've put a new book out,

and it is really beautiful.

All the pictures of the four years in the White House.

And I want you to listen to him discuss it and why.

It says a lot about him.

Here it is.

Before we leave, I know you're on a tight schedule.

I think Melania was one of the best First Ladies, Jackie O quality.

She restored the White House garden.

She didn't change it.

She restored it to Jackie O and got slaughtered for it.

So beautiful, the job.

So beautiful.

The book that you guys are putting out, the coffee table book, A, I hope it has focused somewhat on her work that she did.

And B, is,

did you do a coffee table picture book because there's another

four years that you're going to have to write to put it into a real biography of your presidential years?

So we did a book which has been selling like hotcakes, 150,000 in the first two weeks.

And normally a book like that won't sell to the same extent, you know, because they're waiting for the other book where I talk about a lot of stories.

But I write about certain photos.

And I did it really for a different reason.

It's so sad our country right now.

I don't think we've ever been lower.

And despite all of the witch hunts and the phony Russia, Russia, Russia impeachments, it was a beautiful time.

We had the greatest economy in history.

We then had the cernavirus come in, and then I rebuilt the economy.

I really rebuilt it twice.

The second time harder than the first.

But we had the greatest economy, the greatest everything.

It was a glamour pit.

It was a beautiful period.

And now I see what's happening with energy, with inflation, with the military, with these clowns.

And I said, you know what?

Let's put out a book talking about how beautiful it was because we're going to make it that way again.

And it's people like you that really, you have done such an incredible job.

You give people hope.

It's so important because there

are not a lot of people that understand that word hope, but you give people hope and you have for a long time.

And I really commend you on it.

So

that was the feeling that I got in the entire time I spent with the president was

hope.

He is very hopeful.

He is forward-looking

and he is going to respond to you.

You know, when you see this interview, it's made for the new year.

Looking forward, what do we have have to face?

I asked him about the GOP.

How are you going to do anything if you have the same kind of GOP in Congress and the Senate?

Oh, he went off on a few people that needed to be replaced.

But

he spoke about that, and he spoke about

the dedication

that it is going to take in four years to really turn things around.

That interview will air on Blaze TV next January by the way if you want to give Blaze TV as a gift to somebody just go to blazetv.com slash Glenn use the promo code Glenn20 and I think you can get your 20% off on the Blaze subscription and Glenn20 is for all of the all of the other things at shop dot the blaze dot com

Yeah.

You're going to just

I put this in the darn blaze.

And

wait,

supply chain.

I didn't forget to order.

He's playing it on us.

We don't care if you're not going to be able to do it.

Wait a second.

Glenn Beck, he screwed this whole thing up.

We welcome to the program in studio Jedediah Bila, who is the author of a book, Dear Heartley.

She's also former co-host on The View and is

a Blaze alum.

That's correct.

Welcome.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

It's great to be in the free state of Texas.

It feels good.

It feels different.

You live in New York still.

I do.

I do.

New York City.

Yeah.

I live right outside Manhattan.

Well, my family's there, right?

So I got out of Manhattan during COVID.

But it's time to leave.

You know, I've said many times I have a child now.

I have a son.

He's two years old.

And I cannot fathom raising him in what has become of that city.

You know, the crime is out of control.

When you walk around the city, I always say it feels like a city with no soul now.

Everyone's walking around.

It has, it's empty.

It's vacant now, New York City.

There's a sense of everyone feels like they're afraid of each other.

You know, you walk around being scared of everyone else, everyone's masked.

You need, you know, to show your

vax, you know, card to get in everywhere and anywhere.

And it just feels, you know, New York used to be rebellious and edgy, and artists used to flock there and creativity.

and now it just seems dead inside.

And, you know, mandates aside, I want my kid to be courageous and free thinking.

And, you know, that's not the place for anyone.

I'm not going to get that.

I tell you, we moved away.

Kids were probably six and eight, maybe,

five and seven.

And Tanya said,

I said, why, why, why, this city has everything,

everything.

Take them to the Met.

Take them, them.

You know, we live across the street from the park.

Let, you know, go to the park.

She said, you take them to the park.

Saturday, you take them to the park.

And so I said, I will, I will.

I'll take them to the park.

And I went.

And

this group of three girls must have been about seven years old, all under the monkey bars, dropping their pants and taking a crap.

Under the monkey bars.

And the parents, I'm looking around like, where are the parents of these kids?

And the parents, the women

started, were right next to me and they started laughing.

And one of them went, you know, Jill,

honey,

don't do that.

I've told you before.

And they're all laughing.

And I got the kids and I went back home and I said, we're moving.

You were right.

It's awful.

Yeah.

And what you see now is, you know, you're seeing the pre-Giuliani years reemerge where all of those safe neighborhoods, and I tweet about this a lot because people who don't live in New York and don't know New York look at the crime and look at what's being said.

They say, well, maybe these are always bad.

No, these were once safe neighborhoods and it's just bleeding out now.

So into the whole city.

I mean, you see people shooting up on the street.

I mean, it's, it's outrageous, really.

You know, when I walk around with my kid, because sometimes I'll still go into Manhattan for appointments and whatnot.

I don't even want him around, you know, around there.

I don't, I don't even want to, like even holding his hand.

I'm like, I don't even want this for him.

There's nothing left there.

And I hope it comes back.

Look, I hope it comes back, Glenn.

I want to believe that people want that city to come back.

But it depends on the people.

And if the people there want to act like zombies and sheep, it's not going to happen.

Well, I don't think you're ever going to get them to stop.

I mean, well, I mean, Mayor Adams, right?

He's coming in.

He looks like he might

believe in some law and order.

But you have cities like this all over the country.

Last Friday, over, I think it was a dozen cities, a dozen cities said they have broken their violence and homicide records of all time.

And they're all democratically run, woke cities.

Of course.

Right.

Yeah, but the problem is, is that people, my concern is actually the people who flee cities like that.

Because you flee those cities because you say, I don't want this for myself.

I don't want this for my family.

This has gone crazy.

What happens when they relocate, though?

Do those people then move to the Austin, Texases of the world, to the Miamis, and then vote in the same type of cities?

Well, they are in Austin.

Yeah.

They are in Austin.

That's a huge problem because you have, I mean, I don't know what to do to wake up people in this country to say if you are fleeing something, do something different.

Vote differently.

Talk differently about issues.

Something needs to change.

Don't go there and ruin that city and make it into the city you just left.

Do something better.

I don't know why.

I want to shake everyone.

And I know I get crazy.

You can already see me getting animated.

But really, it's a time to just reevaluate and look and say, maybe these are things that you once held dear, but it's not working.

Look at what's working.

And if you have a family and you want them to feel safe and you want values to be protected, like prioritize those things and choose differently.

We are truly in two different countries now.

I never felt that about America, but we are.

I don't even understand

the thinking of people with

Rittenhouse.

Right.

What people said after the trial.

Watch the trial.

What happened with

Jussie Smollett?

You know, MSNBC didn't even report on that in prime time at all.

Right.

Yeah, but

that creates two Americas, one where there are facts and one where there's this fantasy fact.

Yeah, you know, I talked a lot about media.

I actually got into this business years ago.

I wasn't someone who grew up in a political family.

I wasn't someone who worked in Washington, D.C.

I didn't want to work in Washington, D.C.

But I was interested because I watched Sarah Palin.

I didn't know who she was at the time.

And she came on the scene and she was immediately attacked.

You know, you had media that landed in Wasilla, Alaska, and decided they were going to do OPPO research on her.

So I immediately said to myself, oh, I need to figure out what she's done right because she's angered all the right people.

So let's look at her record.

That was my first inkling that, you know, the media was very powerful and very destructive.

And that went on.

I think the second moment I had where I said to myself, wow, this is insanity was the Kavanaugh trial, the Kavanaugh hearings.

When you saw what happened there, I mean, this guy, they were destroying him.

There was no evidence that he had done any of these things.

And they made a decision that they were going to make this about politics.

And the media gathered together and decided he was guilty.

There was no evidence being presented.

I mean, Christine Blasey Ford wasn't even, even the people that she said could corroborate her story weren't.

And I was sitting and saying, okay.

And people walked away from that, still believing that she was guilty.

Same thing.

The New York Times is doubling down on the Russian collusion thing.

That's right.

There's no truth to that at all.

There's no truth to that.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, though.

How do you survive that?

How do those people in the end survive?

Well,

I think that what you're saying about two countries, there are people who care about facts.

They're all over the country and they're sprouting up, not in mainstream media outlets, but in alternative media outlets.

That's why you see them in podcasting.

You see them on Substack.

You see them all over Twitter saying, wait a second, I'm not affiliated with corporate media, but I'm going to tell you the truth.

And more and more people are flocking to that.

I think the problem arises that you have, you know, collusion here.

You have big tech, which has a narrative.

You have big media.

which has a narrative.

You have big politics right now, meaning Democrat politics.

It's all the same narrative.

And they've all come together and decided we're going to make what's untrue true at all costs.

So it takes citizen journalists.

It takes, it really takes a lot of effort to decide, wait a second, let me ask questions.

It takes issues that affect you and your family.

That's why I think with these vaccine mandates, people started to say, well, wait a second.

This doesn't make sense.

I think it's a good idea.

But it's hard to say.

It's hard work.

And I think those people regain their name because they go on shows like yours and they go on these podcasts and they get their voice out there and people start to say, I'm being manipulated by the media.

This is a game and I'm being played.

So see the game or be played by the game.

Would you agree that Joy Behar is the meanest woman alive?

You know, it's so funny.

I worked with her for a long time and

she was nice offset.

I don't know.

Did you have any experience personally with her?

Oh, zero.

Okay.

So

I mean, I was on the show.

Okay.

But, and she was vicious.

She was hand off.

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.

During the commercials, she would continue to dig at me.

You're a really despicable person.

I was like, wow.

So what I've discovered about people in general and left-wing media is that they like you.

if they think they can control you.

And the second they realize that you can't be pushed around, or you're not going to be a meme.

You're not going to be the conservative who comes on and loves mandates.

Right.

Or the conservative who comes on.

And the reason you're invited on on is because you hate, you're a never Trumper.

I mean, the guy could like, you know, have a conversation with Jesus and reveal something amazing about, and no, you hate him anyway.

You know, that's your,

then you're welcome into the club, you know.

But if you're not that and you're someone who stands up, who stands firm, then you instantly become the enemy.

And that's where the nastiness comes out.

I think across the board, you know, I always remember whenever I would, you know, say something that someone on the left liked, I would be very hesitant to

take that praise because

I know where it's headed.

And

what's horrible is we have created a situation to where a lot of people don't want to say good things about the other side

because they know it will be taken by somebody and

exploited.

And so

you can't even have conversations with people

in open air because somebody will either hear it and say, you're a sellout, or somebody else will hear it and say, you know,

look, they're finally on our side.

And it's like, I don't have a side.

I have the truth.

That's my side.

So I think that's a really important point that you're making right now.

And you use the word conversation.

And that's something that has really ceased to exist in many circles.

It's not, that's why I got into the business originally.

I said, great, I want to have a conversation with people who see the world differently, who people, with people who see the world similarly.

Let's figure it out.

Let's sit sit down and figure it out.

That is not the priority now.

Now the priority is not having that conversation.

It's, you're either with me or you're against me.

People don't listen.

I mean, you couldn't even sit and do this, really.

It's talking point driven.

It's time constraints.

It's Democrat-Republican.

Go fight.

Oh, we got our clip.

Great.

End of story.

It's boring and it's also useless.

It is.

So,

and even on shows like The View, which I did, you know, that used to be a space where I felt like diversity of thought, even though it it was just one seat, truthfully, that brought a different opinion, that one seat had a voice.

And increasingly, I'm seeing that that's not the case.

No.

That it

destroys that.

They destroy that seat.

Destroy it.

I know.

I know.

And it's sad to me because if the goal here is as a country to do better, then you have to, you have to talk.

You have to be able to sit.

And you and I, I'm sure, agree a lot on policy, but I'm sure there's stuff that we don't agree on.

Of course there is.

Because we're thinking people.

We're free-thinking people, which also is a thing that has ceased to exist in media.

But we could sit and have a conversation.

That's, that's really happening in very, very few places.

Is this the first time you've been to the Blaze headquarters since New York?

Yes, I was.

I've never been here at all, actually.

In fact, when I was a little bit more.

It's not different than the little basement we had in New York.

It's so cool.

I feel like I'm on, and it's funny.

I grew up in a performing arts house, and my mom taught acting.

So I walk in here and I'm like, I feel like I'm home.

Yeah,

it's a really cool place.

It's very cool.

And I know you were trying to do that.

Listen, we had Real News back in the day.

It was like 12 years ago.

Was the best show I think The Blaze has ever produced.

And smart.

So smart.

I got smarter on that show.

Yeah, me too.

I did.

I got smarter by being on that show.

It was a brilliant, brilliant show.

It seems like everybody who was on that show went on to really big things after it.

Yeah.

Like, I mean, they all left us to do it, obviously.

Yeah.

Which is smart.

Which is great.

I mean, I love the fact that I can watch things and go, oh,

she started there.

He started there.

He started there.

I just did a segment with Buck the other day and we talk about it all the time.

And you had just left.

When I started at Real News, I was like, oh, great.

Where's Glenn?

And they were like, Glenn's gone.

They rolled up.

You were here setting up this

beautiful space.

But it started, Real News was, when I got in, I was like, okay, we're having a conversation.

And I quickly realized in media that that's just not what's desired most of the time.

And if you're a a free-thinking person, you kind of don't know.

You're like, where do I fit?

You know?

Well, I hope that you decide to move down to Texas, and I hope we see more of you.

Yes, sounds great.

Jedediah

Bila, she is the author of Dear Heartley, and she's formerly here at The Blaze and also The View.

Back in a minute.

First, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins books.

These are must-haves, and you're kind of getting to the end of the shopping season here if you want them under the tree for the the kids and the grandkids.

If you have children or grandchildren, this is a must.

The Tuttle Twins books, they will help your kids understand the free market.

They'll help understand the foundations of our country.

And I know it sounds, I don't know.

I don't.

I've always had a pushback on things that weren't, you know, Dr.

Seuss,

but that is literally nonsense.

A lot of that, this, if we don't teach our kids the foundations and teach it to them young, they don't get it through osmosis and they will not get it anywhere else.

They have curriculums for your kids, but they teach the principles of the market and freedom using stories and pictures and then just great stories for your teenage kids.

So, from toddlers to teenagers, and quite honestly, I've read them, I've learned stuff from them as well.

Tonight, I'm going to have Jim Garrity on the program, a friend of ours for a long time, great political commentator and such.

But I'm really excited to talk to him about this particular thing.

He did an interview with Bob Costas recently.

And if you remember Bob Costas, obviously he's a legendary broadcaster and all that.

But then he also went down these roads where he did, I just remember him doing these hard left

commentaries.

You know, we got to get get guns off the

guns and the Washington Redskins, that name is bad.

Like, I just remember being so annoyed with him and thinking he was just like a left activist.

Well, apparently they went back and forth in email and Jim didn't believe it was Bob Costas at first.

But Bob was like, we should talk about this because that's not who I am.

And Bob comes on.

He basically is like, I'm not some far left woke activist.

Like, I am not that guy.

And the reason why I kind of believe him is no far-left activist ever argues that they're not a far-left activist.

Yes.

They all take full responsibility for it.

And he went through, and it's interesting, like the gun monologue, I remember hating at the time, thinking it was terrible.

And he points out, you know who he quotes in that monologue?

He quotes an op-ed of the time.

It was a sports issue around guns.

He quotes Jason Whitlock.

Oh, my God.

Who now works at the Blaze.

Oh, my God.

And

I'm so confused as to whether we were wrong about Bob Costas maybe at the time, or if just the Overton window shifted so so much on the left that now he's sane.

This is the Glenn Back program.
